05/26/22 Zero day: Julian is a very charming town! I’m sick of it! I’m itching to go torcher myself in the desert some more, I don’t want more bug bites, but I want more bug bites, I don’t want to cry under a bush, but I want to cry under a bush, if you know what I’m saying! If not, you never will. I’m waiting on 2 packages, one are supply box of foods and the other my new sleeping pad, because if you remember mine has a hole in it! “Mom’s” did give me a delicious piece of free, apple berry pie, with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream and a side of coffee. Again, charming and so good to hikers. I have one more night here, I’ve had 2 glorious nights in a bed, taken 3 steamy showers and almost got the hiker badge of honor, dirt grime scrubbed off of me. Tonight, I’m staying for free on a cot at the American Legion, a VFW in town. I met two new hiker friends, BlueJay and Koolaid, whom gave me some nice hiking tips and tricks! I spent the day tagging along town with them, going to the post office, getting pie and going to some stores. I also met a doggo named Remington, we became fast friends, plus some cats, but it’s Remmy for me. About to have a pasta dinner here at the VFW with BlueJay, Koolaid, and Julia! She popped up out of nowhere! Leg is kind of better, meh. Ok! Going to visit!
